Youtube

I don't really care how many people see my videos or if nobody sees them at all, because they're just clips of happy moments in my life for my own memories, but a few days ago I posted a video and it got

Day one: 4 views and one thumbs up.

Day two: 1 view and no thumbs up 🤔

Day three: ZERO VIEWS and one thumbs up.

I find this hilarious. and miffed at YouTube for manipulating things for no reason.

I'm pretty sure even based on viewer response, "views" cannot go backwards LOL.

Seriously, I have a stalker and I CAN'T HELP posting videos about where I am and what I'm doing, and I have a feeling I'm going to need a gun to protect myself from this guy.

I'd rather just block him from ever seeing my videos.

if you've not heard of this guy then definitely check afew of his videos.

hes been offline for a few years but his picture catches my eye when clearing through my subs and i often find myself peeking at his channel just incase hes posted.

We've always thought that YouTube assigns a 11-character base64 video ID randomly to each upload. However, the video The ATM Glitch That Made a Millionaire by Joeseppi has the ID m4Fi_a9QATM that ends with ATM, which is a 1 in 262 144 chance . The first 6 characters are also kinda sus.

Do you think joeseppi write a script to repeatedly start uploading the video, check the URL and abort if it didn't contain the three letters? Or found a glitch similar to the one used by bad apple but it's a QR code that links to this video? Or is it pure luck?

I could not find an official statement on that, and was unable to contact him.

For the past 30 days, I built a custom Beach Ecosystem Terrarium from scratch in my bedroom! Over the month animals such as hermit crabs, gobies, snails, shrimp, and much more were added. I even simulated natural disasters to see how the seaside environment would respond. Thanks for watching, comment any ideas you'd like to see me do below!

Also thank you Dr. Plants for inspiring this video! Go check his channel out if you haven't, he makes very similar videos to this!

I think these are the same folk that made Vampyr?

I could be wrong.

Anyway, enjoy the trailer. Lord knows this video game could use more attention. Nobody seems to be interested...

Yes, it's the Mormon dude. I know, I know.

But I was recommended this by a communist friend in PSL who said I needed it and highly recommended it and said that, according to contacts he knew, he's... err, had misgivings about the faith (not sure if I should say it here).

I'm going to start these now and see if I find them useful. Wish me luck. Just need the advice, is all.

Did something happen to YouTube subtitles in the past few months?

I’ve been watching YouTube with subtitles for years and while they’ve never been perfect I’ve started to notice some very strange issues with them recently which did not used to occur.

The most recent example I’ve seen was from a woodworking video where the word size was subtitled as “siiz”. I’ve also noticed things like random capitalization happening more often, like “sorry for not Uploading recently” or “thanks For watching”.

Are they using a new algorithm for auto-subtitles maybe?

It's really distracting and I don't like it at all. I wish there was an option to switch to black like it was before.

What do you guys think? I haven't seen anyone talk about it yet.
